The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart
4.0
Man, this was a blast from the past.
This book (and series) was one of my favorites in high school and now I remember why. Ruby Oliver had a very authentic, high schooler voice. She’s funny and self-deprecating, but has a nice character growth towards the end.
I also love the fact that this book normalizes seeing a therapist. Ruby has panic attacks and, through seeing a therapist and working on herself, she is able to improve her outlook and her inner self.
I think it also helps that this book is short and easy to read, and the footnotes weren’t as distracting as they are in other books.
